Local Implementation Plan 2 (LIP2)
All London boroughs are required to prepare a Local Implementation Plan (LIP) outlining their proposals to implement the London Mayor's Transport Strategy (MTS) locally. Following the publication of the new MTS in May 2010, a second LIP has been prepared by Hackney Council for submission to the London Mayor in accordance with the requirements of the Greater London Authority Act 1999.
The borough's LIP2 outlines the Council's proposals for implementing the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy and represents an indication of what the Council would like to achieve in the next three years (2011/12 to 2013/14). The first LIP was produced in 2005 to cover the period of 2005/06 to 2010/11, and set out our proposals to implement the MTS 2001. Please visit the Local Implementation Plan 1 page to view these documents.
Following a public consultation on the draft LIP2 which took place between February and May 2011 a number of minor amendments were made to the final LIP2 document to reflect the concerns of residents and stakeholders.
The final LIP2 document was approved on behalf of the Mayor of London on 12 October 2011.
Hackney's LIP2 demonstrates how we will contribute to achieving the MTS goals for transport in London up to 2031: supporting economic development and population growth, enhancing the quality of life for all Londoners, improving the safety and security of all Londoners, improving transport opportunities for all Londoners, reducing transport's contribution to climate change and improving its resilience together with supporting the delivery of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and its legacy.
Alongside these goals, the Mayor of London has laid down 16 challenges with outcomes to be addressed at the borough level. These are discussed within the LIP2, alongside local and sub-regional objectives.
The eight local objectives developed for Hackney's LIP2 are:
- Objective 1 - Improve transport sustainability and choice for all
- Objective 2 - Manage the demand on the highway and public transport network
- Objective 3 - Reduce the harmful environmental impact of transport such as noise, pollution and visual impacts, and climate change
- Objective 4 - Reduce car dependency, and promote active travel as a means of improving health and well-being for all
- Objective 5 - Improve safety and security for all travellers, especially for the most vulnerable road users
- Objective 6 - Support physical and economic regeneration, and increase access to employment opportunities
- Objective 7 - Integrate the street-scene and transport interchanges, while improving the resilience of the transport network to climate change
- Objective 8 - Promoting a sustainable Olympic legacy
